Crossroads |
When first I did appear upon this native soil |
All up and down this country at labor I did toil |
I slumbered in the moonlight and I rose with the sun |
I rambled through the canyons where the cold rivers run |
When first I did come down where the land meets the sea |
The people said Who are you and what would your name be |
I said I have no home and I am no man’s son |
'Twas inland I was born and from inland that I come |
In the good land I was young and I was strong |
No one dared to call me son |
Happy just to see my day’s work done |
See my day’s work done |
So I swung an axe as a timberjack |
And I worked the Quebec mines |
And on the golden prairie I rode the big combines |
I sailed the maritime waters of many a seaport town |
Built the highways and the byways to the western salmon grounds |
I’ve gazed upon the good times I’ve seen the bad times too |
Felt many a cold and bitter wind and many a mornin' dew |
I’ve watched the country growin' like a fair and mighty thing |
And on the still of a summer night I’ve heard the mountains ring |
In the good land I was young and I was strong |
No one dared to call me son |
Happy just to see my day’s work done |
See my day’s work done |
But now the seeds are planted and the gates are open wide |
The old ways are forgotten there’s no place left to hide |
And the legacy I’m leavin' you is not very hard to find |
You’ll see it all around you at this crossroads of time |
In the sweet soil it’s a-growin' At the crossroads of time |
